Question .Mac and AV Questions

Is it really worth paying $85-$99 dollars for it?

I mean is Virex 7.0 better than Norton AV?

Plus if I buy my own Domain... can I host it through the .mac site... instead of having a website that would say. it was .mac?

please help me with this... who has it??? Who likes it? and Why?

I'd say it is worthwhile if you are going to use most of the services and you don't have them already.

You get a lot of online storage space, and website space, an email address, and antivirus software. If you already have enough of these to suit your needs, then there probably isn't much point in going out and spending the cash on what you don't need.

I don't know, but you could probably find a domain server that would let you do 'URL cloaking', and as far as the viewer is concerned, that is the same thing.
